[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1717552, member: 53978"] The 270 Win provides [B]significantly[/B] greater velocity than a a 6.5CR in similar weight or similar SD bullets. That velocity more than makes up for a slightly lower BC at least out to 600 yards. I only keep trajectory tables out to 600 yards and the 127LRX in 6.5CrM never catches the 129gnLRX 270. The 270 has less wind-drift, less drop, greater impact velocity, and greater impact energy out to 600 yards with the .277" 129LRX compared to the 6.5mm127LRX. The only thing that the Creedmore actually does better is produce 2/3 the recoil. As for everything else, the 270 Win really is a little magnum without the title. Earlier in the thread someone mentioned rebarreling a 270 to something else. Well, if doing that, consider rebarreling with a 270 Win in [B]8" twist[/B]. Then you can shoot lights out with the 156gn Hammer Hunter. For really long range, go 7" twist and use the 168gn Hammer Hunter in .277". Dudes, use a little imagination, the 270 is a [B]great[/B] package and if faster twist is wanted, then get it. My wife just got a Tikka T3x in 270Win. I've thought about rebarreling it with a faster twist but why? She doesn't want to shoot over 300-400 yards and that little Tikka is accurate right out of the box.
